Dislike getting choked, can i still do this sport? Got repeatedly choked during a 5 min match
I’m a fresh beginner. Today i was sparring with a girl who put me repeatedly on a chokehold (edit: rear naked choke) during our 5 minute match, like within 15 seconds of starting and resetting each time. Is the goal to be able to submit someone so fast with a choke? I’m happy for her that she nailed so many submits, but for me it kinda sucked. Next girl I sparred with gave me some pointers and helped me figure out moves when I froze, as I’m so new to the sport I’m not quick on my feet, that was way more fun!
I wonder is choking the other person the end game, and is it the only way to end a match?
//edit: I’m 6 weeks in and i don’t yet understand rolling, i like learning technique but i forget everything when we start rolling. I do this as a fun hobby, not heading for any type of big leagues. I have no prior knowledge of this sport, started out of pure curiosity!
